• 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
• 75g (3/4 cup) cocoa powder
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until combined.
3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Prepare the syrup by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering, then pour over the chocolate chips and stir until glossy.
6. Poke holes into the warm cake using a skewer and pour the chocolate syrup evenly over the top, letting it soak into the sponge before serving until ready to serve.
